Kamakura

Kamakura is an hour's train ride from Tokyo, and is the former imperial capital. Regardless of whether you have done the route of the Great Buddha (Daibutsu) or come directly by train, it's a highly recommended place to visit. The area around the train station is full of people moving around. It's one of the favourite tourist spots for Tokyoites to escape the big city. It's well worth a walk down the Komachi Dori street, full of small Japanese souvenir shops. Nor do you want for food, with lots of restaurants, and even a burger joint in case you're missing western food. It's a comfy city to walk in and you can get to its main attractions without much effort.
